Living in a world where I was worth more dead than alive was
a choice. I was a bad man, never claimed to be anything else. I’ve done things
I’m not proud of. Seen things that can’t be unseen. I’ve caused pain that I
can’t undo.

It was all my choice.

Every decision.

Every order.

Right and wrong never mattered.

Until her.

She was under my protection, until she became my obsession.

But who was going to save her...

From. Me. The devil himself.

Fate brought us together. Destiny destroyed us.

WARNING!! THIS BOOK IS SO HOT IT WILL LEAVE YOU PANTING, SO HEART WRENCHING YOUR WILL SHED TEARS, CAPTIVATING WITH ENOUGH ANGST TO DRIVE YOU MADE, AND WILL LEAVE YOU MIND BLOWN AND WANTING MORE!!

It is no secret that I adore the heck out of M. Robinson. She writes flawlessly allowing her readers to transport their minds right into her stories. The way she describes her characters and the scenes evokes your mind to react just how her characters would, allowing us to get lost in her words.

Before I started reading this story, I was in one hell of a book funk. I had tried to read 8 books and could not get my mind into a book. The moment I started reading El Diablo that funk was over. This book consumed my body and soul. There are not enough words to describe how much I loved this story. During this story, I laughed, I cried, I had my heart ripped out, and I felt whole again. This story brought out so many feels it was insane.

Many say they hated Alejandro Martinez aka El Diablo during parts of this book. I, on the other hand, may have wanted to smack him on the back of the head or tell him he was being a complete A$$. But never did I hate him. From the get go, I loved him and wanted to protect the child that was destined to turn into a monster. His cards were handed him the moment he was born. He was destined to take over a corrupt empire whether he wanted it or not.

Every time this man tried to love it did not go as he planned it. He learned that the power he had only brought him sorrow and pain. That is until a very spunky young woman demanded to be part of his life. Every time Alejandro pushed Lexi way she fought with all her might to prove to him he was worth being loved. And let me tell you, there are a few times I was rooting for her to kick his mighty tush.

Lexi came into play full of life and determination. She was not a pushover and would not take carp from no one. Not even the devil himself. She pushed him in ways no one else even fathomed you could. She had been dealt a hand of cards that was almost as bad as El Diablo’s. She may not have the money and power that tormented his life, but she had sadness and demons of her own she fought with daily.

The push and pull between these two characters kept me captivated from the very moment I started reading. Their lives were tangled in more ways that I could to imagine. I loved the entwined web that kept these two pushing and pulling one another had me on the edge of my seat. Everytime Alejandro called Lexi carino, I smiled. The man who was fear by all and needed no one started to realize life could be better. That he could be happy with her. Of course this pissed oh mighty one off.

“Of course you did. You know everything, oh wise one. You know what? You are like a modern day F**king Yoda.” ← I am not gonna lie. I laughed so hard at this scene. Lexi as tired of Alejandro's crap. She also called him old man a few times that had me rolling. This girl did not back down for the great El Diablo.

“”For the first time in my life, I needed someone, You.” ←Massive swooning here people.

“I grabbed her face in between my hands, making her look at me. I spoke with conviction. “You. Have. Me.” ← Started become one big pile of mush here people.

If you are looking for a story that will gut you, leaving you needing more until the end, and want to fall in love with characters that will leave an imprint on your heart, this book is for you. M. Robinson outdid herself with this one. I am now going to go reread the last 30% of this book. It is that damn good.

“Go stretch again, cariño,” I ordered in a dominant tone. Nodding to the barre.“I’m fine,” she stubbornly replied. Shaking her legs and arms out. Getting back into position, looking at me through the mirror.I cocked my head to the side, arching an eyebrow. She narrowed her eyes at me, but begrudgingly listened. I pressed play, allowing the melody to once again take over. She placed her leg on the lowest barre, making her ass stick out in my direction.Tempting me.She closed her eyes, needing to get lost in the music, wanting to push away all the negative thoughts, already feeling discouraged. I stood, taking off my suit jacket. Rolling up the sleeves of my collared shirt as I stepped onto the hardwood floor. I slowly came up behind her, catching her off guard.She froze, turning around, opening her eyes. Peering up at me through her lashes. “What are you doing?”I leaned forward against her ear, grinning. “I’m helping you stretch.” Getting down on my knees in front of her.Her eyes dilated. The feeling of disappointment replaced with nothing but lust. She placed her arms out to the side, resting up against the barre, supporting her weight. I grabbed her ankle, lifting it up in the air, rubbing along her leg as it was fully stretched, before setting it on the lowest barre. Running my other hand up her side, easing her over toward the extended leg. She understood what I was doing, reaching for her ankle, stretching. Standing back up, bringing her arms above her head, I caressed along her leg again, casually turning her torso so her leg was still placed on the barre behind her.Her breathing hitched as I touched her all over her lower body. My lips softly kissing the inside of her thigh to where she wanted my mouth the most.
